Everyone is going on about how Ricky will be able to close Mayweather down and outwork and out hustle him almost as if Mayweather doesn't have an alternative strategy than to allow himself to be bullied around the ring by Hatton.

I agree that it's a possibility, but it's every bit as likey that PBF will be just too fast and too slick for a brave Ricky Hatton who just gets picked off all night long until a sympathetice referee puts an end to the massacre late on.

Remember what Mayweather did the unbeaten Coralles
Yes and we also remember what Castillo and Casamayor did to Corrales too.

Hatton has much faster foot work than Corrales who plods around the ring following his opponents untill he gets a big shot that puts him down.
